Indeed. The hardware does not support bipolar inputs, differential channels
or oversampling ratios as all of those require specific silicon that
is not in this particular device.

Technically you could emulate oversampling but there is no reason to do
that in kernel and no drivers do so + then it would not be a feature of
the hardware anyway so wouldn't belong in DT.

That's used for devices that will delay their ADC sampling if there is a mux that is changing
which pin is being internally connected to a single shared ADC. It requires hardware
support, which isn't present in this device.
